On my `94 the nut is 36mm. You`ll also need a torx 55 for the 3 bolts that
hold the bearing/hub onto the knuckle. The higher you can get the car the
better - on jack stands, getting enough leverage to break the torx bolts is
difficult. I didn`t remove the half shaft or any of the suspension links.
If you remove some of these components it gives more access to the bolts.
Don`t forget to properly torque up the spindle nut when you`re done.

Subject: C-4 removable tops both and frame flex question

Don`t know maybe this has been covered. Someone just recently said that the
removable top adds regiddity to the frame. My question. As I drive almost
exclusively with the tinted top, which is lighter and thinner therefore not
as strong as the solid top, does my frame flex more with that top than the
solid top? I would think that flexing, besides being a detriment to
handling, also speeds up the damage to the frame. After all they retire
commercial jets due to wearing out of the structural members etc.
Should I put the solid top back on?
Thanks for your thoughts, Wade in NW Florida
